Hi, I've got a serious problem with my iMac, my SSD and HD is completely ruined, and I suspect it's a Trojan horse but I'm not sure.
At first there were some glitches in VLC media player, after restarting I couldn't get Safari to work, it kept bouncing but did't open.
After trying to reboot in safe mode my iMac closed down by itself, I tried several times but couldn't boot in safe mode, it kept shutting down half way through.
It did boot normal, but took a very long time, and kept reacting slower every time I tried.
I tried recovery mode and it seemed like my SSD needed a reformat.
After trying to reboot in recovery mode again it said it couldn't find my HD anymore and I needed to restore it.
It erased itself and all I'm left with is my SSD it seems.
After restarting again I now see an icon with a question mark.
Recovery mode takes ages to start up as well, but it's no use, everything is gone now.
Does anyone know if this is just a normal HD crash, or could it really be a Trojan horse?
And will Apple make trouble about my warranty if it's a virus you think?
All input is much appreciated, this is stressful as hell.
